Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an ambitious and newly formed NHS Group, NHS Humber Health Partnership, the 12th largest acute and community provider in the NHS. With a budget of over £1.3 billion, Hull University Teaching Hospitals (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLaG) (the Group) are united to ensure better care is provided to a population of over 1.5 million people.

We seek to appoint Bank Sonographers to provide patient focussed services as part of the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future of our expanding ultrasound service.

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified reporting Ultrasonographer to join our small friendly team and participate in all disciplines of ultrasound in purpose-built units with dedicated GE ultrasound machines in the Obstetric Department, the General department and at the Community Diagnostic Centres.

We provide scans to a range of service users including obstetrics, abdominal, gynaecology, small parts, musculo-skeletal and vascular services across the three hospital sites as well as at community settings in the area.

All Advanced Practitioner Sonographers will scan independently and report all studies undertaken. Support from the Radiologist team is available if required for more complex cases.

Applicants must be ultrasound qualified (Diploma in Medical Ultrasound or Pg Diploma in Medical Ultrasound) with state registration and possess a full UK driving license and must have at least 1 years ultrasound practical experience in an established NHS Ultrasound department.

The candidate will be able to scan abdominal, gynaecology, obstetrics, small parts and DVT's. Musculo-skeletal qualification or additional vascular qualification would be an advantage.

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world‑class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.

As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and careful workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees and our Partnership and our community.
